La interpretación de Fiennes es muy buena y la dirección logra que uno vaya involucrándose cada vez más con el personaje.

"September 25 "Clothes maketh the man; and the less there is of the man, the more the need of the clothes." I had this on DVD for ages, so I decided to finally watch it since I felt like watching a non-horror Cronenberg movie. It is a very interesting character study of a mentally disturbed guy and Ralph Fiennes sells this character very well. As interesting and different this movie was, I can't say I completely understood it and there was something missing for me to consider it a great movie"
